Yeah well I wouldn't believe anything they've said so far! Although the comments coming through now sound far more plausible than anything anyone has been fobbed off with so far.

I shall be putting mine up on ebay with a 3 day listing 99p start this afternoon, seeing as like many others I couldn't wait & bought one from Smiths...I can promise the winning bidder that it'll be packaged much better than I received it!

I received the 2 vinyls I originally ordered today. Minus the magazines. I am wondering if I will received the replacements, because I ordered 3 originally.

So annoyed so basically they've fucked up and not bothered sending my foos one! Speaking of postmen last year the postman who was delivering our mail got fired for pinching a shit load of stuff! This was at Christmas and i think they nicked some slipper boots I had ordered!

I've so far been told that it's on it's way and there is no need for a replacement, and I couldn't get one sent anyway yet as I'd have to wait until the end of the first week of November. Then I've also been told that they apologise for the delay in my item reaching me and they will send me a replacement immediately, but it could take up to two weeks.

You just gonna take that?

Anyway, mine's been delivered, it's in mint condition (the PVC sleeve alone offers enough protection) and now it's getting thrown in the back of a cupboard, unplayed, unread and unloved, along with all the other junk I buy out of habit from this band.

We sure did get a good old fucking moan out of it, though.

Got my online order today too. A proper vinyl mailer would have been better, but at least they printed 'fragile' on it and with the plastic and card of the actual item with a magazine in too the jiffy bag was probably adequate.

Weirdly the plastic sleeve opened on the side on this one, whereas it was from the top on the shop-bought one I got... the benefits of being square I guess (the item, not me).

Got mine too!

Now, whether to undo the sellotape...

Dented sleeve and ripped wraparound cover.

YAY, mine's here. Royal Mail surpassed my expectations by actually delivering it instead of making me pick it up.
